  Speaker 1: to con you. I don't say you like I'm doing
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: something right in life. I enjoy our life, but it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: important that especially you know, I'm gonna go real and funny.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: At the same time, COVID has told us that we
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: gotta eat right, especially in the brown and black and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: brown communities. We've shown that the COVID ninteen has overtally
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: affected that and weight loss and high blood pressure and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: cholesterol have always been enemies in the black community. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: so that's one of the reasons why I wanted to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: bring you on our show, just because your book, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: also we're gonna talk about some some things we're gonna
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: do by super Bowl time for for nice eats, but
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to talk about you as a brand
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and the and the reason why healthy eating and healthy
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: lifestyle is so important. Yeah, so you make you're you're
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: making fun of people who thinking about health. But I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: know you must be working out or balancing your behavior
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: in other ways because you're in great shape. You look amazing.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Obviously you're in good health. So I'd like to know
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: before you let people believe that you're crispy cream app
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: rule your daily life, what is it that you do
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to stay in such good shape. You obviously work out, Yes,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you watch, you watch, you watch other things that you eat.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you probably drink a lot of water. You
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: probably don't drink a lot of alcohol. You know, there's
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: probably a few things you do in your life to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: stay balanced. I drink a lot of waters. I drink
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of water. I I don't drink coffee your tea,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: not because it's negative, but I drink a ton of water.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I don't eat early. If you know, I tend to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: want to stop eating at six o'clock in the afternoon.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big portion eating person. When I was younger,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I was a big all you can eat restaurant fan.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But as you get older, you do less, and so
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I usually do two meals a day and I eat
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of nuts. There you go. So, so what
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you just subscribed includes calorie correction, card correction, intermittent fasting,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: even uh, metabolic fasting. Do you work out at all?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I do a lot of stretching now and stretching okay,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and you're probably very I tip, and you're probably staying
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: busy a lot. So you're doing nine out of ten
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: things that I recommend doing in all of my books.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I've written nine books about health, and all of them
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: include everything that you just described. So if you have
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a bad Krispy Creme habit, but you balance it with
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: working out and drinking moderate amounts of alcohol and doing
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of jail, you exercise and staying busy and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: living a life with purpose and saying hydrated. Those are
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: all the things that will balance and counteract the Krispy
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Creme addiction. I love a Krispy Creme like everybody else.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I haven't downloaded, yepp. I have to be honest with you,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: but I do need to stay away from those things,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and they will trigger me. So you gotta know, You
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: gotta know what will trigger you. Getna stay away from
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the bad habits that will trigger you. So if I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: see if I walk by a Krispy Kreme, I'm likely
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to go in and give it a whiff and see
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: what's going on. So I try to avoid those places.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's important, especially as we get
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: older and especially during a pandemic, that you stay as
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: healthy as possible. And one easy way to do it
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: is with your choices about food. It's the only thing
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that you have, uh that's really in your control. So
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: think about all the other influences on your health. Uh So,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the quality of the air you breathe, the quality of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the water, the quality of process and commercial foods, fast foods.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You can't control what's in any of that, right, UH,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Medicines that you take, you have no idea what's in
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the medicines, the health care that you get. We don't
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: really know for getting quality healthcare or fo doctors doing
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: what's best for us, or making decisions that are in ourvesting.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: We don't really know for sure, right we we we
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: know at the end of our lives what happened and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: what what was important, what wasn't. But the food that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you eat every day you have almost control over if
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: at some point in your life you broke the sugar habit.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: If you did that, and you have control over your options,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you can make healthy choices. And once you start making
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: healthy choices, you regain your power and your control over
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: your body and your life. And UH, for every person
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: out there, you've got our seriously consider that. And it's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: about eating consciously. So every time you're hungry, you feel
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you crave something to eat, you have to take a moment, UH,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you have to think about what you're gonna do, be
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: conscious and make a decision that's good for you instead
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of impulse eating and just stuffing you know, stuff in
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: your face that happens to be around you. Because when
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you do that, you lose control of your health, your body,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: your mind, and then you're not helpful to yourself, your family,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: people around you, and uh lots of lots of different
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: categories of people get caught up into this because you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: we're marketed junk food from from really really young. It's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: very inexpensive. I remember going to Catholic school and queens
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: they served us junk food five days a week. We
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: had McDonald's one day, we had Blimpy, another day, we
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: had beats another day. I mean, when you start out
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: life like that, you know it's it's definitely a hard road.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Uh years on the road. So rock your book, our
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Rocko's Keto comfort food, diet e foods you mass still
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: lose up to a pound to day. That's the book.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I want that book. I'm willa put it on my
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: social media soon as you give me some banners. That's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: why I really started when to make conversation problem, because
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's all for you a charge. They
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: got like one point six social and influence followers, million followers,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and I'd like to really amazing get a sense of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: because what happens. If you go to my Facebook, you'll
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: see I got like eight hundred fifty followers. You see
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday and three I always promote bakers, they put
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: their favorite So I really wanted to bring you on
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the show because of the fact that I know naty
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: percent of my followers on Facebook or female ten percent
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: of men. So that means that they influence dies, they
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: influence the household. So tell us about your your diet book. Sure, Uh,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: since you brought up thinking and I'm just gonna point
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: out this recipe first. It's a chocolate chips skillet cookie.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite recipes in the book
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Chocolate Skill. It yeah, chocolate chip skill of cookie. It's
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: made without any sugar at all. It's made with dark chocolate. Uh,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it's got um five grams of protein, eleven grams of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: carbs as compared to a normal chocol chip cookie, which
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: would have you know, sixty seventy grams of carbs, especially
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: when this big. This would be the first recipe I'd
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: recommend out of this book. And uh, because I use
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: dark chocolate, I use coconut flour, I don't use uh
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: any traditional sweeteners. Unable to keep the grams of carbs low.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And basically we're in a fight against junk carbs. Most
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: pallots come down to avoiding junk cards. Unless you're an
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: elite athlete or you run five miles a day, you
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: basically need to avoid cards. That's what it all comes
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: down to, and that's what this book is about. It's
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a Keto diet. It's called Keto comfort Foods because I took,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you know, my top ten lists of favorite comfort foods
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and I turned them into Keto version, which means less
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: than they add up to less than twenty grams of
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: carbs per day. So if you eat three or four
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: dishes from this book per day, you can be guaranteed
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that you'll stay in a keto diet, which is a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: low carb diet. We've all heard of low carb diet.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: The other part of being on a keto diet is
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that you eat a lot of fat. You're on a
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: high fat, low carb diet, and if you're able to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: sustain that, you can lose a lot of weight very quickly,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you can reverse diabetes. There are a lot of health benefits.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: The thing with the Keto diet is it's a it's
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit all or nothing. So if you don't
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: stay on the Keto diet and you don't stay in ketosis,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and you you have a couple of bad days, you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: can gain a lot of weight very quickly. So I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: only recommend for people who can stay on the path
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for at least ten days. If you're if you're gonna,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you know, fall off the wagon day three, it's probably
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: not a good thing to do. And what you should
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: do is just basically lower your junk carb consumption. Talking
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: about bread, rice, uh, baked goods unfortunately, were showing us
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you're unless you're living life and balance. Now, when I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: say life and balance, I mean if you're within ten
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: percent of your goal weight, your body fat is you know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: somewhere between twenty uh. Your your bm your body mass
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: index is uh, you know, equal to the amount of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: calories you burn every day. So our BMR is our
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: is our basal metabolic rate. It tells you how many
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: calories you burn without exercise every day, and for most
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: people it's between fifteen and two thousand calories that we
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: just burned living life, just doing nothing, just walking around.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: If you're eating more than fifteen hundreds of two thousand
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: calories day, you're obviously going to gain weight because you're
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: consuming more than you burn. So that's what when I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: say life and balance, I'm talking about ISO caloric balance,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: meaning you burn and consume the same amount of calories.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You know, there's really good that I'm hearing this conversation
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: because because my wife, she loves my desserts, but she's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: she's really back off the sugar now. She's really that's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: just too sweet for me. Like I made some down
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: to the raising bread this weekend because I know this
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: sugar content with those she loved it. And so you're
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: talking about that chocolate chip skillet cookie with no sugar,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I'm making that this week Yeah, you're gonna love it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: You're gonna guarantee you're gonna love it. And if if
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: it's um, because I use alternative sweeteners like stevia and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: monk fruit, if it doesn't taste right, so you can
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: always add a little bit of coconut nectar or maple
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: syrup or something like a traditional sweetener, just a little
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: bit to give it the just taste that you're used to.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: But most of the time, listen, you win people over
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: with those bake make desserts. I'm sure make goods. I'm
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: sure make you a lot of friends. But you know
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: everything in moderation. You told me before that you practice
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: portion control. Hopefully hopefully that's true with all the baked goods. Well,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: my whole thing is that, like with this is out
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: of your book, rock Hose Keto, comfort food diet, eat
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: foods you miss and still lose up to a pound
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: of day. Now we were talking about it. Really you
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: are a godsen to me because of the inn the end.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: You know, just talk about it. When you in your twenties,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you just you know, you just burning stuff. You're just burning, right,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: And then then you get in that thirties and forties,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: you become you start sitting more, you don't run as
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: much a natural activity, losing and that's when the way
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: game comes about. And I said the guards in part
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: about is that you're telling me I can still enjoy
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: what I eat, but in a healthy manner. And guess what,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I am a disciplined guy, Rocko. I do have discipline
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: in my and and so, and I like to be
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: people who follow me have that same discipline if I
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: redirect them a little bit with your book. Gods, Yeah, listen,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: clear clearly you live in this is in life. Look
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: at what you've accomplished. There's no way you could get
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: to where you are without waking up every day and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: going out there and heading the ground with purpose. Right,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it's the same thing with your diet. The one thing
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: we think that is not in our control is our
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: diet and our health and wellness. A lot of people
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: in America believe that is in the control of other people.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: It's not true. It's complete, letly within your control. So
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: if you again, if there's a little bit of conscious
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: thought and impulse control, you know, we we learn impulse control, uh,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: either by getting in trouble or going to therapy, or
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you read about it in a self help book, or
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe you heard Steve Harvey talked about it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but everybody learns impulse control at some
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: point in their life. If we apply it, like you know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: when you talk back to your mom and she's snaxy
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: because you didn't wait a second to keep to make
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: a better decision. That's that's another lesson in impulse control,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and my mom did that a lot. But if you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: apply that to eating, you'll you'll do yourself a huge
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: favor because most people when they're making conscious decisions about
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: what they eat, make better decisions. And also if you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: cook at home a lot versus eating out, you'll make
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: much better decisions than commercial food manufacturers will make for you.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: And the reason you start to gain weight in your
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: thirties and forties is because hormones like testosterone and estrogen
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: start to decline. Your body produces much less of those hormones.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Muscle mass starts to decline. Your muscle is the only
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: part of your body that burns galleries, so you start
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to add You know, some people had five to ten
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: pounds a year starting in their thirties, and it's really
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: through no fault of their own. They're doing the same
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: thing they've always done, but all of a sudden, now
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: we're gaining weight. So you have to counteracted either by
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: exercising more, which at some point you have to do
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: because you'll you'll never add muscle in your thirties, forties, fifties,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: sixties unless you're purposely trying to to add muscle by
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: working out. You know, stretching is a great form of exercise.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It's it's essentially uh another form of yoga, which is
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: all resistance training, which builds muscle. And if you don't
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: do that, weight or push up and pull ups, those
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: all help a lot. It's finally here the season of celebration,

• 17:49
  Speaker 1: about the word diet and used the word healthy food.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It tends to not sound like it's good food. Am
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I wrong? One? And people know you're right? You're absolutely
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: right about that. Health Me and delicious we're always mutually exclusive.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: If you really read my first book, it says healthy
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and Delicious are no longer mutually exclusive. So my goals
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: is as a chef and a diet a diet a
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: person or an advocate of healthy diets, was to make
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: sure that the food tasted just as good as it
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: did before I put the diet onto it. So before
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I take away all the bad stuff and add all
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the good stuff, I make sure it still tastes good.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: So in your book, you you have recipes like chocolate
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: glazed donut, cinnamon roll bytes, mac and cheese, which is
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: my daughter is gonna love. Now, this is what I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: love right here because I bake some fried chicken for
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: my staff last week because in my office I have
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: a full kitchen and so I'm always cooking for him,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and so a lot of these recipes and I enjoy,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: like the hot crispy keto fried chicken, does baghetti squash?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: The meat lover is cauliflower pizza. Come on, now, see
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: this pizza is insane. You have to make that, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: that it's so good people love it. The fried chicken
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: is great. Fried chicken is naturally keto. You just got
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to replace the bread crumbs with something that's that's more
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: keto friendly. Okay, when you say that, what do you
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: mean when you say that, because now you got me. Yeah.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: So so in this book, I use either one of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: two things, a nut mixture or because it's Keto. I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: not saying this is good for everybody, but pork cracklin
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: ground up cork cracklin as a as a coating instead
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: of bread crumbs. So that's protein and fat, no carbs.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I know that sounds insane and totally unhealthy, but if
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you're on a Keto diet, it works. Now, man, you're
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: crazy for you, I know right, it sounds crazy. Pork cracklin.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I grew up on that rocko. Come on, now, you
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: eat too much, you choke on it. If you smash
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: it up. If you smash it up, you can use
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: it as a coating for all your fried foods instead
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: of bread crumbs. So instead of a junk carb, you
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: using a pro tina. And in fact, those are some
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: of the tricks that we do in the book. Wow.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: See you you you scoff. When I said you are
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: guards in, you looked at me, And what's he talking about? You?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Telling me? Modesty? Kicking in? Now he's he's he's the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: right there. Now the super Bowl is coming up. We
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: all know that everybody gotta have the right thing. Is
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: that that's that's the Colifil pizza. That's a that's the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Collegeower pizza. Yeah, yes, a square. I love that. It's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: a square pizza. Well, you're probably gonna say some of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: my staff because, uh, the way I cook that chocolate
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: guge don't love it. Cinema role bytes, mac and cheese,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: so many of the things that I'm gonna be buying
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to that. So with super Bowl coming up, what one
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: of the things you got on your menia there for us? There?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: So here here you go. If you want to be
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: on a keto diet for super Bowl, which by the way,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily recommend, there has to be some days
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: where you just don't care, right, There's there's gotta be
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a few days a year where you're just not worried
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: about that stuff. And super Bowl is a good one.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is another good one. Christmas is another good one.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Just don't worry about it on those days. If you're
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: worrying about it the rest of the year, you'll be
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: fine on those days. Uh. This is guacamole served with
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: pork cracklin, right, so high quality fats, lots of protein
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and pepitas which are yeah, right, that's fried pork correctly. Yeah,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: instead of tortillas, which are junk cards. It's pork crackling crazy.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I know it sounds insane, but it's really good and
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: it works. This is and this is all in there
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the rock O Keto comfort food diet. Wow, poor crack.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Other thing, the other thing you have to have on
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: on Super bowls is chicken wings, right, gotta have chicken wings.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: So my recommendation for chicken wings comes from another book
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I wrote called Now Eat This, And it's basically Frank's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Hot sauce, butter and just fresh chicken wings. That's the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: original rest be So in the eighties, when I was
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: in cooking school, I traveled to Buffalo, New York with
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: my roommate who's from Buffalo, and I went to Anchor
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Bar and to Dust, the two bars that claim to
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: have originated the Buffalo chicken wing, and I learned the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: recipe from them, and that all it is is Frank's
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Hot sauce, butter and fresh fried chicken wings. There's no flour,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: there's no sugar, there's no crazy stuff. That's all it is.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Three ingredients. Just try that. Try that for this Super
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Bowl and I think you'll be very very happy. And
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: it t keto. Okay, So what are you frying an it? What?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: What's what's what's on it? Oil? You're frying it in oil.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Whatever oil you want, obviously the listen. If you can
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: afford grape seed oil, avocad oil, go for it. But otherwise,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: vegetable oil is fine. It's raw, it's dry, it's it's
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: seasoned with salt and pepper. It's deep fried until it's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: crispy about ten minutes, and then it goes into a
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: bowl with about two thirds Franc's Hot sauce one third butter.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I like to use grass fed butter if you can,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and then you cover the bowl for a few minutes,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: toss it around and that's that's the original recipe for
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Buffalo chicken wings from Buffalo from Anchor Bar. Wow. Yeah,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: so no flour, no dredging, no nonsense, no sugar, none
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: of that stuff. Okay. Now, the one thing I never
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: hear people talking about is I'm going to my heart
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: now desserts for Super Bowl snacks that you know you
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: can't be around and just what what what would you recommended?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: You can grab and you can eat real quick, make
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: real fast for Super Bowl weekend. So I have a
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: flowerless chocolate cake in this and this Keto comfort book
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that I think is a fantastic go to. You can
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: make days ahead, leave it in the fridge. You mentioned
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: monkey bread before. I love monkey bread, and uh, I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: like I like to use um pre bought, you know,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: like a dough in a tube. Like I don't want
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: to mention the brand, but you guys know what I'm
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: talking about. To buy those biscuits and you you pop
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: them open and then you you assemble them like a
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: tower so you can make it. Paul Apart, I like
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: that for the Super Bowl. I think that's fun. Paul
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Apart monkey bread. Okay, so but what are the ingredients
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with that? What you know, I'll give you a ar rescue.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: But this is not a healthy one, by the way.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: This is this is conventional. This is conventional. I used
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: white chocolate, maple syrup bacon in mine. I just made
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: it on Guy's Ranch Kitchen on the Food Network. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: was it was delicious, and uh it'll be I'll be
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: on there on the thirty one January. Actually, you'll be
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: able to catch me making it, and I'll get you
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: a rescue for it, but it's basically a white chocolate
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: bacon monkey bread. I know it sounds awful, but it's
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: really good. Rock you you are. I'm a team man.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: You're a man out there, my hall. Everything you're saying,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I grew up eating indeed, but it sounds like I
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be eating it now. But you said, Rachean, trust me,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: this is the pork ryans, the crackling I mean crackling bread.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I remember I grew up with that, you know, six
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: bare room, a shotgun house. But my dad, my mom,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you know, we were said, they're nine kids, so we
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: ate like that. That's what we ate, and so we
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it. And so you bring back memories. And you're
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: telling me you have to hear that, Rockell, you created
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a cookbook that I can get all this stuff and
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: bring back my food memories. For sure. For sure, there's
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of comfort food in there that I'm sure
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: we'll bring back the memories. That was the way it
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: was designed. That's why it's called the comfort food diet.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: The ideas you can eat the foods you love, still
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: lose the weight, still manas the weight instead and be happy.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Right because at the end of the day, we're not
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: feeling happy and satisfied, and we don't reach society, which
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: is hard to reach. You end up cheating on your diet,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: you end up messing up, you end up drinking too
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: much or eating too many sweets, and it doesn't work.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: So I gotta you gotta be able to uh hit
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the spot if you know what I mean. Well, I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. I'm going to Bonds and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Nobles and get your book today. I'm surprised my wife
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: this afternoon with this book. It sounds amazing. Thank you
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: so much, Rocko. Here's a deal. I have a lot
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: of chefs. Come on show. I'm I'm a fan of chefs.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I want you to be a friend of my show
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: anytime you want to come with it, because you're changing
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: my life in a way. And I'd say these things
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that as you get older, you
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: know that you can see the finish line more so
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to push the finish line. And but it
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: was more importantly I want to enjoy life. But you're
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: telling me, Rashan, there's comfort food out there that you
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: can eat and if you do it right, you can
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: still smile at the dinner change or still the word healthy.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Don't don't act like that's a defted finding turn. And
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: that's what your sir, rockos keyto comfort food died, eat
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the foods you miss and still lose up to a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: pound of day. And you say, as you give yourself
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a ten day window to try a key or give
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: yourself ten day twenty days would be a deal. Ten
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: days ten days minimum, uh to see some big results.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: You'll see results the first few days, but give yourself
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: ten days being a hundred sent on the path I'm
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: talking about, you know, holy no no mistakes for ten
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: days and you'll see big results. Let's talk about your
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: book just a little bit more sure. Yeah, do you
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: have like like a morning, a breakfast, lunch, and dinner
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: type of regiment? I do, yes, So, Uh, the book
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: has diet plants. It has four four tiers tier once
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: or two, three, and four which takes you from uh
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: smaller amounts of calories to larger amounts of calories, but
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: also from extreme keyto to a keto friendly diet. So
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: at some point keto becomes um a little bit unsustainable
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: because you don't want to eat that amount of fat
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. You want to get
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: into eating healthy vegetables, eating a lot of plant based foods,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and this book gets you from there to there. So,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: but it starts off with keto coffee and bone broth.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So you do that for three days, and that's called
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the cleanse. So bone broth gives you all the necessary
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: protein and fat that you need to sustain in you
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: know your energy, and you can drink as much bone
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: broth as you want. And I'm talking about a rich,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: powerfully flavorede bone broth and keto coffee, which is black
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: coffee with either a coconut milk or coconut coconut fat
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: or grass fed butter in the blender. You probably heard
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: of this, you know bullet bulletproof coffee. It's the same thing.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: And if you drink that in the morning and then
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you continue to eat bone broth and have one meal
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a day for three days, you'll get your body to
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: understand that you're serious. Your body will immediately understand something
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: is different and it will convert it's car burning engines
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: into fat burning engines pretty quickly. During that time, you
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: have to stay a hund percent hydrated. So let me
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: explain hydration. Your your muscle cells are seventy water. They're
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: made out of water. If they are deprived of hydration,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: if they are hydrogen starved, they do not work. It's
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: like trying to run a sports car with a few
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: quarts of oil. Short you can do it. So you
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: have to stay hydrated. And stay hydrated means drinking at
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: least four of these a day, if not five or six.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: It should be half your body weight an ounces. So
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: if you wait two hundred pounds a hundred ounces of
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: water and so on, you need to You need to
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: be drinking enough water where you're you're going to the
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: bathroom a little more frequently because your body knows it
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: can process the water instead of storing it. And those
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: are all parts of getting into the keyto diet. Then
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: in Tier two I add two more meals to the day,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and Tier or three I had another meal. Tier four
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I add dessert. That is a twenty day plan. I'm
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: gonna do it. You don't need to do it. Look
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: at you're in great shape. You don't need to know.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: You can try it, and you can try it and
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: tell your fans if it works or not. I'm gonna
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: do at least for ten days. You know, I got
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: bad habits there, all right. It sounds like it sounds
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: like you cook a lot of your bad habits very free,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: very frequently. So. But ketos keto diets are also therapeutic
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: in other ways, not just for weight loss. It reduces
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: your A one C. It can reduce your A one C,
• 30:09
